Sometumes stripmall Indian restueants get a bad rap. Dont frear though Surabhi is the best! I have gone so many times over the years. Such amazing staff and hands down the best Indian food in the area. Try the lamb vindaloo its amazing!

If your writing a review of the buffet I can understand your complaints. Do not eat here for the buffet food yet order off of the menu. The lamb brianni and the palak paneer are the perfect meal for 2 to 3 people. Add an order of the chicken 65 and you can feed a whole family. I order their food everytime I am in town and eat the leftovers for my next few meals. The naan is woodfired and just knocks anything else out of the park with the woodsmoke flavor. Very robust flavors and a traditional style of food with spices that will open up your mind!

They take up too much ouside space on their fenced patio then even more sidewalk space with a huge folding sign. In summer it stinks of cigarettes which you can't avoid with conditions along that part of the sidewalk.

Dirty place with a small buffet that is overpriced. Staff was hardly visible. Atmosphere is dark and dreary. I recommend finding another place if you're looking for Indian cuisine.

Just stopped in and had the lunch buffet - it was so good! Love that they had so many non-meat options, and many of the dishes even had some heat (rare for an Indian buffet in MN). Our favorites were the okra curry (wonderful hints of tamarind), goat curry, wada, raita, and whatever that orange sauce was (coriander/turmeric chutney?). Oh and the mango cake! We totally plan on returning whenever we're in Bloomington.

This hidden gem in Bloomington offers a large selection, good food, and good service. Highly recommend the butter chicken.

1st time. Ordered takeout. Nice gentleman who talked me through the menu. Ordered a chicken curry with vegetables gievn his recommendation. The meal was very tasteful, and of high quality. For $15 i was surprised with the portion size. Swatadees entrees and rice are 2x the size. An $8 chipotle burrito is a more significant helping than what i received.
It has changed and I have to give it 3 stars. The food is good, but the selection is very limited.

Great buffet although when ordering ala carte I've had inconsistent quality chicken tikka. Sometimes they overdo it

This little spot in Bloomington has seriously big flavors!!! We tried pakoras, two dosas, veg korma, mutter paneer, raita and more! All so delicious. Every dish had wonderful and unique blends of spices. It is especially fun that they serve the S Indian dosas because those are rare to find.

The lunch buffet was $13 and that was with water to drink. The floors were sticky, the table was sticky, the buffet selection was awful. The naan was burnt on the bottom and crispy, the samosa was dry. Really poor selection and just not a good environment. I will definitely not be coming back.

(Review edited 5/2019) we used to eat here at least once a month. Now the food is so inconsistent. I have ordered probably 5 times since new management and the same things I order every time are completely different every time. Plus, when I do a "to go" order it takes forever and something is missing or wrong every time!!! My husband and I will no longer eat here. It looks dirty and it is super disorganized. :(
